Might melt again though if there's much heat in that area.


Or there's Sugru: https://sugru.com/

could anyone post a picture/dimensions of the early FL ones with the separate foglight surround ? are they handed ?

I have a cunning plan

Yes they are handed and in 4 pieces - 2 per side
The later 2001/2 type were larger 1 piece

Hmm interesting. Will those early fog light surrounds fit the later models? I also have a cunning plan...

I have a 3D printer, two holes in my bumper and a great deal of ambition. It's not the printing, it's the drawing that will be the task, but I'm going to have a go. Failures will be photographed as well. Prototypes will be in white as I have black ABS on order.

Instead of trying to draw it in 3d have you considered photogrammetry?

well that puts my idea in the shade [ clue ...my brother owns a dental laboratory ]

are you going to try the early 2 piece or the one piece ? I suspect the light surround for the 2 piece is easy to obtain , don't think they fell off

I presume the one piece can be used to replace the 2 piece
